Aljoscha Krettek commented on FLINK-12501:
------------------------------------------
By the way, [~igalshilman] pointed out to me how Scio solves this:
https://github.com/spotify/scio/blob/master/scio-macros/src/main/scala/com/spotify/scio/coders/AvroCoderMacros.scala
They create an instance of the Avro type (using the zero-argument constructor)
and then call {{getSchema()}} on that, which should work for all avro-generated
types, I think.
> AvroTypeSerializer does not work with types generated by avrohugger

> Key: FLINK-12501
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-12501
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Formats (JSON, Avro, Parquet, ORC, SequenceFile)
> Reporter: Aljoscha Krettek
> Priority: Major
>
> The main problem is that the code in {{SpecificData.createSchema()}} tries to
> reflectively read the {{SCHEMA$}} field, that is normally there in Avro
> generated classes. However, avrohugger generates this field in a companion
> object, which the reflective Java code will therefore not find.
> This is also described in these ML threads:
